Let’s be careful out there…

I read about two cyclists that were hit by cars this weekend – one was a 38-year-old woman who did not survive. She was hit at 7:10 pm by a driver who said that she was blinded by the sun. The other was hit at 6:00 pm – the sun shouldn’t have been a factor [...]

And so it begins…

The lies and distortion are upon us, and we’re a full year away from the presidential election! Consider the following ad from Mitt Romney: Romney’s new 60-second ad uses footage from an Obama campaign event in Londonderry, N.H., in the final weeks of the 2008 race, when the Illinois senator and

What Reebok should teach the politicians

OK, so here’s something that I don’t get at all. Reebok’s TV commercials stated: “It’s the shoe proven to work your hamstrings and calves up to 11 percent harder and tone your butt up to 28 percent more than regular sneakers. Just by walking.” Well, seems like the FTC had a little problem with [.

Please stop the insanity & let the TSA do their job!

They had a spokesperson for We Won’t Fly on CNN this morning, who made the point that passengers are our best line of defense on airlines today. Unfortunately, the example he used was the underwear bomber, who he said was stopped by none other than you and I – the flying public. Am I [...]

This Thanksgiving, please put your junk in the trunk

I must say, I am amazed at the ‘debate’ over the full-body scanning at airports and the enhanced pat-downs introduced by the TSA – by the way, only to those who refuse to go through the full-body scanner. Salacious headlines flying around include ones like, “TSA’s new groping and fondling policy.”

Too bizarre to be true…but it is!

A woman is suing Google because she claims walking directions that she got from Google Maps led her to a highway, where she was struck by a car. Mind you, Google provides the following disclaimer for its walking maps (which is still in Beta right now): Use caution – this route may be missing sidewal
